I started to write about robins moving into a nest in front of my house and got off on the Santa Hat track...someone must need to hear this...because this is what God has laid on my heart this morning.
As I was writing I was reminded of a story...might as well share it...one Christmas the folks I work with had their annual Christmas lunch where we all went out together...So, we play this "Santa hat" game...everyone wore a Santa hat...someone quietly slipped theirs off...and if you saw there was someone without a hat you slipped yours off until there was only one person with a hat remaining...they were the person who didn't have a clue...it was our boss...to this day when something is going on around us and someone can't see it or doesn't have a clue we say "Santa hat"..."He's having a "Santa hat" moment...not a clue...
...I have those moments too...not a clue...On the road to Emmaus there was a Santa hat moment...
In Luke 24 we hear how these two guys are walking along and someone walks up to them (it's Jesus) and they don't have a clue its him and tell him all about all that has happened to the prophet Jesus.
Luke 24:17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
So, I think Jesus knew what happened in Jerusalem...he was killed...but poor ol' Cleopas...not a clue...
Now I see where this is going...God moments...are like that...if you aren't open to them...they can be happening all around you...you close your eyes...put on your Santa hat and don't have a clue...open your eyes and your heart...and look for the confirmation there is a God...let him tell you through God moments...take off that Santa hat...and get with the program..
God walks beside you, just like on the Emmaus Road...every day..reach out and touch him.
Experience God moments.
